But at least two of the races are close and brought President Reagan to the Beehive State last last week to lenghten the Republican candidates' leads.

The Republican candidate for Utah's new Third Congressional District, Howard Nielson was visiting Murdock International, a Utah County company that specializes in food storage supplies.

Hatch and Wilson were both on the move today with the two candidates talking to to the Salt Lake Women's Council this morning while their campaigners continued to call the undecided.

Wilson took his campaign message to public employees at the state's Department of Transportation and Public Safety and the Social Services Building. He also campaigned in Salt Lake County with Gov.

Long-terprospects are not much better, since steelmakers must continue to slash capacity if they are to survive the 1980s, the experts said. "In the short term, the outlook is not very good, because of very weak domestic demand," said Robert Crandall, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. "In the long run, the big steel companies obviously have to contract. They have a lot of outdated capacity." Eight of the country's biggest steel producers swam in red ink from July through September. U.S. Steel Corp. lost $82.4 million; Bethlehem Steel Corp., $208.9 million; Republic Steel Corp., $74.6 million; Armco Inc., $112.6 million: National Steel Corp., $96 million; Inland Steel Corp., $45 million; Wheeling-Pittsburg- h Steel Corp., $26 million. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., which reports only operating results, lost $109 million. With this string of losses, the industry seems almost as cheerless as the analysts. "The market for steel products remains depressed with no sign of improved steel orders," Inland Steel Co. said. "Armco does not foresee improvement in business conditions in the fourth quarter" and expects to report a loss for the entire year, said Harry Holiday, Armco chairman and chief executive officer. But the nation's No. 6 steelmaker will be "in an excellent position to capitalize on an improvement in the economy," Holiday said. The steel industry might begin perk up in the second quarter next year as the rest of the to economy begins to revive, agreed Joseph C. Wyman, a steel analyst at Express. Orders might increase even Shearson-Ameri-ca- n more if tough labor negotiations lead customers to fear a strike and stockpile steel supplies, Wyman continued. But if a strike does not materialize, sales will slump in the third quarter as customers work off their inventories, he warned. In any case the improvement will be temporary, Wyman predicted. Charles Bradford, vice president of Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc., said improvement in the consumer sector of the economy will not extend to the steel industry. Nevertheless, Bradford ex- pects some improvement early in 1983. Some steel customers are putting off purchases until the first of the year so they can avoid inventory taxes at the end of this year, he explained. In this environment, "the big, integrated steel companies are going to decline during the decade," said Crandall of Brookings. "Companies will have to be smaller, leaner and more efficient." Imports will continue to grow until they capture 25, or even 30, percent of the American market, compared with about 20 percent now, he predicted. Steelmakers may cope, not by closing entire plants but by shutting down the oldest, least productive sections of their factories, said Wyman of Shearson. But despite the dismal outlook, analysts stressed the steel industry will survive. onca Old Rivals Feed Tradition Republican incumbent Don R.
